Frank is a very professional and reliable towing expert. He really knows his job and went out of his way to help me while my truck was being towed in the Chicago area. Their prices are fair, and he’s a trustworthy person to deal with. I would definitely recommend his service to anyone in need of towing assistance.

I had a wonderful experience from the moment they picked up my phone call as my car broke down suddenly in a parking lot. They are very professional upon answering and honest with their charges. My tow driver, Blake was very kind and personable. He made me feel less stressed due to the circumstances of having my car suddenly break down. Thank you so very much!

Had my semi truck towed by A&R Sparks Heavy Duty Towing in Alsip, IL, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The driver, Frank, was professional, on time, and really knew what he was doing. He handled everything safely and efficiently, and made sure my truck got to my yard without any issues. Their equipment is solid, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Frank made a stressful day a lot easier huge thanks to him and the team. Ask for Frank if you can he’s the best!
